Right. The Cat. QED.
I understand the point you are trying to get; you're asserting that the Bible itself was written by men a long time ago, and there's really nothing divine about its inspiration, as the contradictions show.
This forum isn't set up to discuss something as weighty and scholarly as the Bible. I'm in the rickthestick camp and with enough time (not using Yahoo! answers) I will find the proper answer for everything. I agree that the "star" that lead the astrologers wasn't really a "star" as in a giant burning gas ball of fusion. So obviously you can't take that literally. But I don't call it a "contradiction" either (nor would I say that redish blue vs. purple is a contradiction either)
Like I said, however, I am going agree to disagree for the sake of brevity. My 10 minutes of Yahoo! answers was the result of the time I had between my eating of pasta and going to the gym (well it was probably more than 10 minutes, you don't want to work out right after eating). I (bold)will(/bold) spend more time looking at the evidence, and I will come to my own conclusions. I'm not (italics)wishing(/italics) anything away. Though I wish I knew how to change fonts and stuff in the quick reply box.
